2013	High Fidelity	8B	Boulder \| worked	14th Mar 2013
Rainshadow	9a	Lead \| worked	3rd May 2013
Third ascent. I actually knew I was going to do Rainshadow on the Friday. On the Thursday I went to the Peak to do some easier climbing to waken up the body and mind. I found myself having an onsight go on Ninth Life, an E7 down Chee Dale. I felt amazing, I couldn't fall off that day so I confidently set off in the sun. I fell off high up with the sun shining in my eyes. It was quite a huge fall but that just got me more psyched. I pulled the ropes and did it next go for a more boring ascent. Friday dawned, it was the day to make the third ascent of Rainshadow… Well I just did it. That was it, all that effort distilled down to a few minutes climbing. Saturday dawned, it was time to go a win a bouldering competition. Well I did just that and took home £300.
